Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.
Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)

No method as of now, lets just wait (and wish) revolutionary supports the new hboot to s-off

My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.
The only way for you to S-OFF again is to downgrade first.

This is the 6th device I've "customised" but none of them has been as difficult as this. It's certainly put me off ever buying an HTC device.
Here is its status:
UNLOCKED

I have permroot from adp (it doesn't go straight to the # prompt, I have to su)
I've installed 4EXT Recovery Classic but that just leads to the red triangle and the standard recovery.
Suggestions would be most welcome!
I'm sure you need to s-off your phone. Search the forums for tutorial..

If unlocked by HTCdev you don't need s-off.
Try download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot.

You can flash (by other Recovery) the custom ROMs based on stock kernel only.

I had the same thing happened to me, it's irritating to see this happen. All it took for me to fix, was to follow the guide provided here.
All I had to do was S-off, Unlock, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on again. Please let me know how it goes!
Sorry to give you bad news, but you can't use that guide to gain S-off again. You have to be in hboot 1.18 or earlier for revolutionary to work. And you're S-on with hboot 1.27, so no luck there.
My recommendation is to be patient and wait for revolutionary to update, otherwise, you will be wasting a lot of time trying what's out there right now.
There's a lot of people trying to help those who are in the same situation as us (I'm S-on with hboot 1.23), but so far, no method have worked for hboot 1.20, 1.23 nor 1.27.
The only thing you could do is unlock the bootloader with htc dev (don't do it if you don't want to lose your warranty), install a custom recovery (I use 4ext) and then try an ICS ROM or restore a NAND backup if you did one previously. But first read, read, and then read a little more before doing anything else to your phone.

Thanks for you answare but please can you link me a guide or tell me yourself how to unlock it with htcdev. Because i don't know how to do it. Thank you.
How long do you think it will take for Revolutionary to update to my version?

There's something you can try first: Find the ROM.zip of the RUU you installed, extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. That, probably, will let you boot and use your phone normally.
You can follow this guide and try your luck trying to go back to S-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296.
Remember to read carefully everything before attempting anything.
About htcdev:
Here is diagram of the process http://htcdev.com/bootloader/preview_unlock_process and there you have a link to the F.A.Q. too.
Then, you register here http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ and start the process following all the instructions that they give you.
About Revolutionary:
Only them could know that. There is a firmware version with an hboot 1.27 already unlocked by them, so they are still working on the project.
It can be fixed but you updated your h-boot to 1.27, I think it's bricked and I recommend you to send it to the htc
I have the same problem, I went S-ON and on stock GB rom, then installed the OTA update from HTC, now it won't boot. I think I will wait for the 1.27 RUU because I have unlocked the bootloader and don't think HTC will repair it for free.
I'm gonna send it in for support and hope they will fix it
I have spent a week driving myself insane with this phone and now it won't boot and I cannot seem to get is back to factory settings.
I tried to follow guides here for rooting but I could not get them to work.
In the end I used this guide (including the unlock bootloader via htcdev) and it got my phone rooted.
I then thought it would be a great idea to install the viper S rom... It was not. Now the phone will not go past the ht sensation logo on boot and I cannot get the firmware here (phone parses the file and then does nothing on the bootloader), the odexed stock image here or the any other image like this to install.
Please can someone tell me how to get this phone working again?
This whole thing has really stressed me out, I would be really grateful if someone could just give me some simple instructions. An image to flash via clockwork would be great. I have tried for days to do it my self but am starting to go crazy.

the problem is when you are flashing a rom when you are S-ON it has not the ability to flash the boot partition by itself
you have to flash the boot.img of the rom manually or
flash 4ext recovery ,enable smartflash from it and then flash the rom.see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
edit:in order to upgrade your firmware you have to be S-OFF

Thank you very much, I have now got the viper S rom running after using the linked to information (Enable 4EXT SmartFlash)
I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me as I was tearing my hair out!

No, the only way to s-off the saga is to downgrade.

Its a lot easier than it looks, once you start you'll be suprised how quickly you get through it. If you're not comfortable then just unlock the bootloader and flash the kernels through adb.

HBOOT-2.02.0002 S-OFF (android 2.3.7)
Hi everyone,
I have searched the forum but could not find the info i need.
I own HTC desire S, i managed to unlock it with htcdev and flash Reaper v4 Rom (android 2.3.7 without sense).
Now i would like to try 4.2.2 stock version but for this one i have to go S-OFF.
To go S-OFF i have to downgrade hboot.
my bootloader looks like this:
***UNLOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
so i'm a little confused, and do not know what should i do first to make it S-OFF.
Do i have to flash other rom in order to downgrade hboot or the downgrade is possible with the current rom?
Do i have to make the device locked again?
is here some order i must follow?
thanks u'all

You don't have to be S-off you just have to flash the relevant boot.img extracted from the zip and flash it via fastboot.
